Google Street View is certainly a handy feature. You can get a look at a hotel you're planning to book to see what kind of area it's in. You can also tell if it looks like it's worth the money by the clear pictures. You can scan around a place you've never been to before to see where to park and plan accordingly. So how does Google Street View have pictures,for that matter?
The primary way they get their photos is with their Google Street View cars, which have special cameras that take photographs as they drive down public streets. Once the photographs have been taken, they immediately use computer processing to make them ready for use on Google Maps. The imageprocessing technology sticks the photos to create the seamless (无缝的) 360degree images that you'll see on Street View.
Contributions from people can help keep Street View images updated. If there's a tiny county that doesn't have Google Street View cars, or a very geographically remote location where cars wouldn't be available,Google can use images from its volunteers. Volunteers like Herve Andrieu,an enthusiastic Google local guide and editor of googlemaps. guru have 67,000 photos on Google Maps.
In addition,Google also has a couple of other types of vehicles better equipped to handle rough land than cars. There are trolleys, snowmobiles, and threewheelers, as well as a Street View Trekker. This portable equipment allows people to bring the camera with them to get images that cars never could.
